Congrats to DQ XI on 6 million. Wish SE would stop changing the character names in the West when there's nothing wrong with the names to begin with. Had to settle for S version because it has Japanese voices so I can hear the JP names.

Your take away is the names when we've had to bare with unnecessary British (and other accents)?

If you want unnecessary and wrong name changes there' much much worse.

^ Funny of you to mention non-Japanese voices as if I care about that at all. I only care about JP voices and the original JP names being kept overseas. Oh, and the script being consistent with the JP version.

At this point name changes much like the accents are pretty much ingrained with the western games. They ain't going to stop doing them whether we think it's unnecessary or not.
